< Psalms 138 >

1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, Jehovah, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.
Jeg vil prise dig af mit ganske Hjerte; over for Guderne vil jeg lovsynge dig.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.
Jeg vil kaste mig ned for dit hellige Tempel og prise dit Navn for din Miskundhed og for din Sandhed; thi du har gjort dit Ord herligt over al dit Navns Herlighed.
3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
Den Dag, jeg kaldte, da bønhørte du mig; du gav mig Mod, i min Sjæl kom Styrke.
4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Jehovah, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
Herre! alle Konger paa Jorden skulle prise dig; thi de have hørt din Munds Ord.
5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Jehovah; for great is Jehovah's glory.
Og de skulle synge om Herrens Veje; thi stor er Herrens Ære.
6 For though Jehovah is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.
Thi Herren er høj og ser til den ringe, og den stolte kender han i det fjerne.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
Naar jeg vandrer midt i Angest, vil du holde mig i Live; du vil udrække din Haand imod mine Fjenders Vrede, og din højre Haand vil frelse mig.
8 Jehovah will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Jehovah, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
Herren skal fuldføre det for mig; Herre! din Miskundhed varer evindelig, opgiv ikke dine Hænders Gerninger.
